Brazeau County is proud to be a member of the Green Burial Society of Canada to designate a section of the Lodgepole Cemetery for green burials to the community for their loved ones.
A green burial minimizes the impact on our environment. By returning a body to the earth it can decompose naturally and contribute to the growth of new life. For many, this concept combines the spiritual integrity of the past, with the environmental ideas of the present. Brazeau County, by working with the Green Burial Society of Canada, is proud to offer a Green Burial area within the Lodgepole Cemetery.
